Commercial descriptions:

Snozzberry – This wild ale was matured in French oak barrels with freshly picked snozzberries for five hundred days, three hours, and 15 seconds. This is an eccentric beer, at time showing notes of peach and strawberry, at other times mango and raspberry, sometimes farmhouse and blackberry, but always snozzberry. Wonderfully fruity, farmy and tarty! 8.25% ABV

Sticky Hands, The Hop Experience Ale – Our hop experience ale features ample additions of sticky, resinous, lupulin packed hop buds. A hop decrescendo that begins with a blast of tropical fruits, dank herbs, and citrus aromas leading into intense hop flavor before ending with a receding bitter finish. After a year working on the recipe we are coming very close to our envisioned beer. The aroma, flavor, and bitterness are near perfect balance, showcasing NW hops. 8.25% ABV
